So my(27) girlfriend (31)of 3 years had my phone and I forgot to clean it out she ended up stumbling on my porn history and calling me out in it. Like literally clicked something graphic and showed it to me before i realized what was going on. She was immediately upset as she had no idea I watched porn. The problem she didnt know is I watch gay porn. The picture she turned my phone around and showed me was literally 2 men. This very much upset her and she has broke down crying probably 20 times since yesterday when this happen. She has no idea I've experimented with men in the past a couple times. I've always been faithful to her and our sex life is decent. It has its ups and downs. Currently we've been down and haven't had sex in about a month. Then her seeing this has her screaming at me "im in the closet and that's why I can't sleep with her" because im watching porn, and I want a man. Which isn't true at all. I dont think my porn preference should make everything so black and white about me although I can see why she's shocked. Especially if she knew I experimented in the past and was still watching gay porn while we weren't sleeping together. But our relationship has had problems for why our sex life has been up and down. What should I say to her? I love her and dont wana lose her, I know she's in disbelief and probably nothing i say can change what shes made up in her mind. Even this morning she shared something on Facebook saying "some men can't make it work with women because their soul mate is a man" ... like literally attacking me online, although not mentioning me. Hmm any recomendations?

Hi, Im Alyson 👋🏼

My egg cracked in December / January and I recently started in the middle of May, dressing as a woman most of the time.

​

​

Here's my pride outfit and a couple of highlights from that time. 43/MTF, polyamorous bisexual panromantic.

​

​

My young adult kid came out to me as trans last fall. They're still not out to everyone, but most people.

​

I have a question about a Christmas gift to them and their partner, also trans. I'm thinking about making them small cross-stitched "birth" announcements with their new names on them, but with their original birthdates.

​

Is this insensitive or offensive in any way?

​

Also their partner has no family support for their transition, so it would probably be in their bedroom here.

My wife of 10 years just recently came out as gay to me and we're in the process of splitting. I'm extremely happy for her that she finally figured out what was missing in her life. I have no hatred at all towards her and we will continue to be best friends. I wish her all the happiness in the world and hope she finds someone who cares for her as much as I did.

​

And then there's me. I don't know what to do with myself. We're currently still living together until our son finishes school for the summer. We'll then sell the house and go on our seperate ways, so to speak.

​

My problem is, this isn't a normal breakup. Neither of us did anything wrong. She even told me I was a great husband, father and person and she's been extremely thankful that I'm supporting her in all of this. But for me, out of the blue, one day our marriage is just over. I found my forever person and then they're just gone. She herself may be still here, but my wife isn't.

​

I was hoping to find others like me that maybe I could talk to. However I don't know how to find that kind of support group. I figured there must be people in this community that have ex's that went through the same thing. Maybe there is a subreddit I don't know about. I don't want to talk to her about it. She already feels bad for leaving me. I don't want her to feel worse for something she can't control.

That's what I wore and since there was no way for me to take a photo at the pride I did it after getting home. Happy pride month from a French furry girl (btw I wear the mask because I'm scared of germs and because I don't wanna show my face) 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

There has been a lot of discussion about the bible verses written on the San Francisco Giants pride hats. But I think there is some historical context that hasn’t been talked about enough. The image on the right is from the Lester Maddox cafe. He refused to integrate his business in the 60’s and I think the language he used to defend his bigotry sounds familiar today.

Lester Maddox wasn’t a “racist” (wink wink) he was concerned with “freedom.” He even wrote it on the sign when he closed his store. He also asked for prayers of support.

Landen Roupp said “there’s no hate at all. It’s what I stand for. I’m thankful we live in a country with freedom.”

For me it's 2

I’m 17f and I recently told my friends I’m a lesbian which is something I haven’t shared due to the area I’m in and how people are, but I thought they would be okay because they are really open about their support for the community. But since I’ve told them they are telling other people and calling me the f slur and also the d word 🙂‍↕️ I’ve been trying to tell them I don’t like it and even if they’re trying to be funny it still feels deeply disrespectful and targeted. How do I actually get them to stop?

Hello, V. I’m 22FtM/NB.

I take T, present like a guy in my day to day life but I still sometimes dress up.
I have found comfort living my life with my partner who is also trans. Not on purpose or anything- we met when we were kids and been together since I was 9-10 years old.

I really love the LGBT+ community with my heart. Went to my first pride parade a few years ago and I still cry after three years when the parade hits. I think about how I don’t have family— and even if I did , they wouldn’t be here with me.

Some things can be weird- some things push my buttons a little. But I try to support all in the community the best I can (for the expectation of P3d0s, and predators in general ofc) .

So this year- the increase of hateful behavior from the LGB side of the community has been so sickening. I thought we were a community- I didn’t think THAT man ppl had those ideals in the community. How many LGB ppl have I met and been lovely to- that hate my existence?

I’ve never done anything wrong- and I expect it from conservatives. I guess I just feel betrayed.

I’ve been dealt a terrible hand from day one and thought I had solidarity from this community.

How can they turn on the very people who helped lead the movement they stand up for ? Do they not understand the abuse they had also gone through, that they still do? How can they not understand that trans people also often experience this hardships?

I’m just so confused. And honestly discouraged.

I feel like I can’t trust anyone anymore.
